League Play-Off

Tjepaga Stadion
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Wawan Simanungkalit made the kick off which started today's match. If Raihan Maspaitella had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 4th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 5th minute, Saul Kalangi got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. PSM Tjepaga's Kahar Daulay played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Saul Kalangi in the 7th minute of play. Kahar Daulay took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Saul Kalangi, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After some careless play in the Meloewoeng FC defense, Ruslan Sutisna kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Tantan Prasnanto. The Meloewoeng FC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Tantan Prasnanto should have stopped the shot. Kahar Daulay took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Raihan Maspaitella, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Wawan Simanungkalit had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Darto Roekito fell near the penalty area in the 30th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored PSM Tjepaga's protests and gave Darto Roekito a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to PSM Tjepaga getting a freekick after 30 minutes play. Darto Roekito hit a great ball. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Raihan Maspaitella in the 33rd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Kahar Daulay saved PSM Tjepaga from getting behind. If Wawan Simanungkalit had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 40 minutes into the match, Meloewoeng FC's Saul Kalangi sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Kahar Daulay narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Ruslan Sutisna received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 42nd minute. Tantan Prasnanto tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The audience thought a goal was coming when Ruslan Sutisna got free with Tantan Prasnanto in the 44th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Raihan Maspaitella might have been able to make a better finish in the 48th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Kahar Daulay. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Raihan Maspaitella ran back to his position shaking his head. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Raihan Maspaitella to make the kick off. In the 59th minute Ruslan Sutisna shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tantan Prasnanto saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Mastur Revaldy kicked well hit freekick during the 63rd minute of the match. Ruslan Sutisna sent away a hard shot on goal in the 70th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When the match had gone on for 73 minutes, Ruslan Sutisna put it in 2-0 from a short distance just to the right of Tantan Prasnanto. PSM Tjepaga's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Raihan Maspaitella 80 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 2-1. It seemed to be an obvious goal in the 85th minute, but Kahar Daulay got his fingers on the ball or the save, leaving PSM Tjepaga hanging dry this time. When Saul Kalangi came up free with the goalie in the 87th minute, the Meloewoeng FC fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Saul Kalangi couldn't finish the play. Darto Roekito received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 92nd minute. Tantan Prasnanto tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Ruslan Sutisna received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 96th minute. Tantan Prasnanto tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
